Big Reforestation Program
Completed in Rogue Forest
The largest reforestation
program in the history of
Rogue River National forest
was completed last week as
hot weather forced an end to
tree planting activities on
even the highest slopes.
Nearly 2 million seedling
trees were planted on 3.U5U
acres of recently logged land
during the fiscal year now
drawing to a close, according
to Forest Supcrivsor Carroll
. Brown. An additional 200
acres were resceded using 186
pounds of tree seed.
The forest planting pro
gram furnished over 4,000
man-days of employment in
the Rogue basin area, Brown
said. A portion of the job was
done by contractors, but the
greater part was carried out
by forest service crews.
Start of Seaion
The planting season actual
ly started last fall, after the
first soaking rains. On some
parts of the forest, it con
tinued at a reduced pace
throughout much of the win
ter. However, the big effort
In plnnting took place during
the spring months as the
snow blanket melted from the
higher parts of the forest,
Brown noted.
The cool, wet spring offer
ed unusually favorable con
ditions for tree planting, mak
ing it possible to extend the
season almost a month longer
than is normal in this area.
A better than average sur
vival Is anticipated because
of the damp weather, favor
able for transplanting, he ad
ded. Pondcrosa pine was the
principal tree species planted
with some sugar pine and
western pine planted on por
tions of the Union Creek and
Prospect districts, where the
spread of white pine blister
rust disease has been control-
ed by the eradication of ribes
bushes.
Pine Planting Stock
Jeffrey pine planting stock
was used in some higher ele
vations. Douglas-fir seedlings
were planted on most north
slopes and cooler sites while
on the highest elevation plant
ing areas Shasta red fir and
while fire were favored. Test
plantings of small quantities
of giant sequoia, Japanese
black pine and knobcone pine
will be observed for response,
Brown noted.
The seedlings for planting
came from five different nurs
eries. They are Forest Service
nurseries at Wind River,
Wash.; Bend. Ore., and Mc-
Cloud and Placcrville, Calif.;
and the State Forestry De
partment nursery at Elkton,
Ore.
Most of the planting stock
had been raised specifically
for use on the local forest
from seed collected in this
area in previous years. Both
one-year and two-year-old
seedlings were used in the
field planting.
Some "wildings" seedlings
were collected locally near
the planting sites, Brown said.
These were young trees, some
times found growing in pro
fusion along recently graded
road banks and similar loca
tions subjected to a heavy
seed fall.
Direct Seeding
The seed used for direct
seeding was also collected loc
ally. Most of the forest's tree
seed is processed by Tepper
Tree Seed Co. of Shady Cove.

Graduate Students
May Live on OSC
Campus Next Year
Corvallis Space will be
reserved In Oregon Stale col
lege dormitories this fall for
graduate students who desire
to live on campus, Thomas
F. Adams, dormitory director,
has announced.
In past years, graduate slu
dents lived in various units
throughout the dormitory
system, but this will be the
first year that they will be
living in separate areas desig
nated for graduate students
only.
The new area will provide
an atmosphere that is more
conducive for concentrated
study, Adams said. Both the
men and women graduate
students will have units re
served for them.
Building Program
Under the dormilory build
ing program the past five
years, there will be ample
space for all freshmen, sopho
more, junior and senior stu
dents who wish to reside in
on-campus residence halls.
OSC now has residence hall
space for 3.009 students. Dur
ing the past five years, five
residence halls with a capaci
ty of 1,550 students have been
built.
Residence hall space will
be sufficient for the next two
years, but with the predicted
increasing enrollments addi
tional residence halls will
need to be completed and
ready for occupancy by 1903,
Adams reported.
Small Living Groups
The 1,590 men and 1,419
women students in the resi
dence halls are divided into
small living groups with be
tween 60 and 80 students
each. Each group has an up
perclass student appointed as
an adviser wlio counsels and
assists tile underclassmen j
with academic as well as per
sonal problems.
This program has been
found to be increasingly help
ful to students, especially
freshmen, in making the trans
ition from high school to col
lege studies, living and activi
ties, college officials pointed
out.
was treated with a rodent re
pellent to discourage seed eat
ing mice and chipmunks.
Development of white and
sugar pine planting stock re
sistant to the blister rust dis
sease is the objective of one
program of the local forest
service organization, accord
ing to Brown.
Ho said it has been discov
ered that susceptibility to the
imported diseases varies
greatly between individual
trees. Some tree specimens
have been found that appear
to be completely resistant to
the cankers of the rust dis
ease. Brown said "the rust resist
ant characteristic can be in
herited, as observed from
studies made by the forest
service in Idaho and at the
small seed orchards at the
Wind River nursery in Wash
ington. Rust resistant while
and sugar pine are being
established in the Prospect
area by grafting branchlings
from rust resistant trees onto
seedlings of ordinary pine
trees. This work, together
with experiments in controll
ed pollination and hybridiza
tion of certain selected pine
trees, is one of the many ac
tivities on the local national
forest."

Japanese Premier
Expected To Quit
Tokyo-ltiril-Nobucly will bo
surprised in Jnpim if Prime
Minister Nobusuke Kishi re
signs after President Eisen
hower completes his visit to J
this country.
The pressure has become
almost unbearably heavy on
tiie 63-ycar-old pro-Western I
lender and most observers of I
tiie political scenes generally ;
believe that he will bow to
demands to quit.
Kishi's efforts to declare a
truce with the political oppo
sition so as to give Eisenhow
er a unanimous, nationwide
welcome came a bit too late.
